I’ve lived in the city of Jacksonville for the better part of 36 years. I keep coming back to the place I call home. For me, as a fan, the Jaguars are part of the reason I stay. When I read the team had announced lower-level single-game tickets are sold out for both the regular season home opener versus the New England Patriots and the Sunday Night Football matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, I could not help but think of what used to be for the city and its pursuit of football.
I remember how NFL teams used the “Gator Bowl” to tease fans while playing politics for a new stadium.
